She also creates a weekly Vlog every Sunday which documents her weeks activities and writes a blog documenting her life and the trends and products that inspire her.

The site, lydiarosebright.com, has a loyal following and has lead Lydia to be a judge for blogging competitions for both Reveal and More Magazine, where she has had a chance to offer her style advice and give make-overs to competition winners.

Is Lydia Bright pregnant?

In August, Lydia made the surprising announcement that she’s expecting a child.

It’s unclear when she’s set to give birth, but she should be pretty far along if she’s already at the stage to share the news with fans.

This will be Lydia’s first child, which she conceived during her relationship with her baby’s father, Lee Cronin.

The two, however, are no longer together.

Why did Lydia and Lee Cronin split?

Lydia told Hello! Magazine that she didn’t expect herself to be in a situation where she’s pregnant and alone, adding that her fairytale future has not “worked out exactly how I wanted”.

"It's been so hard keeping this a secret”, she told the mag while opening up about her pregnancy for the first time.

"I've done so much travelling, I've done all my partying holidays, I'm where I want to be in terms of my life, financially and career-wise. It just feels like the right time for it all to happen for me.

"I've always wanted the fairytale. And it's obviously not worked out exactly how I wanted.

Lydia strongly hinted that the relationship fell apart because she couldn’t “beg somebody to be with me, and I can’t beg somebody to love me”.

And despite being a single soon-to-be mother, she remains firm with her belief, saying: "I know this baby will be the best thing that has ever happened to me”.

Lydia joined Towie in 2010

What happened between Lydia and James 'Arg' Argent?

Lydia and Args' relationship pre-dates that of even Towie - and has been a major storyline for Lydia on screen.

The pair have been on and off since they were teenagers, but rumours of infidelity and drug use on Arg's side began to take it's toll.

A Towie insider said: “Lydia’s loved being on Towie despite the stresses it’s caused in her personal life, particularly when it comes to Arg.

“She was weighing up her future following the end of the last series and with Arg clearly being back in contention, it triggered her decision."

What do we know about Lydia Bright's book?

Her first book, "Live, Laugh, Love, Always, Lydia", was released on June 15 2017.

It details her journey so far, from start to finish.

As well as detailing her personal journey, Lydia has also included her dating tips, inspiration quotes, the work-out that got her bikini body ready for her TOWIE comeback in 2014 and even some of her favourite photos and recipes.

She wrote the book herself and has been promoting it via her social media. Speaking on her Amazon page she describes what an adventure it was to write the book: "I have laughed, cried, cringed and beamed with pride recounting all the crazy stories I have put into it."

When was Lydia Bright in Towie?

Viewers were soon hooked on their on-again-off-again stormy relationship, which has continued ever since.

Speaking on her blog about her time on Towie, Lydia said: "After dead end jobs I decided to move to Marbella, Spain with my boyfriend Arg to have some fun working in a bar.

"We broke up during this time and he flew back to England to appear on Towie.

"I was later contacted by the show to appear on it as well. After much consideration I decided to take the plunge (mainly as they promised to pay for my flight and excess luggage.)"

But she said her first appearances may not have been as smooth as they looked.

She added: "My first ever scene on TOWIE was horrendous, I was stiff and awkward and looked like coco the clown. But after a few weeks, months and years I became very natural around the cameras.

"I have been through a complete emotional roller coaster having to go through months of heartache in front of the nation. Although I also got to make amazing life long friends and achieve things I never thought would ever be possible."

Unfortunately, the Towie star just wasn't high enough when it came to the final jump-off.

Proving herself to be somewhat of an adrenaline junkie, Lydia also took part in the 2016 series of Celebrity Island, and formed a close bond with Made in Chelsea's Ollie Locke as they survived on a marooned island.

What do we know about Lydia's fashion business?

After six months of trading they launched bellasorella.co.uk as an online fashion site that ships worldwide.

Lydia acts a head buyer for the business and can be found working at their Loughton boutique most weekends.

The sisters have also embarked on a successful pop-up-store tour of the UK with their boutique, visiting cities including Bristol, Portsmouth, Glasgow, Sheffield and Redditch.

In 2012 she launched her own fashion collection, Lydia Rose Bright, during the Christmas season.

She said: "Shortly after launching my boutique and buying from a number of brands I realised that there was a gap in the market for a real 1950's, glamorous occasion wear label.

"That's when I launched my first clothing collection and my second business venture."

The collection has grown from strength to strength with high street and online retailers including very.co.uk, Lipsy, River Island and Bank, the collection is also the third best selling brand for online giants ASOS.

She added: "Fashion for me has always brought me excitement, inspiration and confidence. I feel so lucky that now I have built a career around it, it really is a dream.

"Style is a way to say who you are, without having to speak.' I really hope that my fashion sense showcases who I am as a person and tells a bit of my story."
